A large sun-spot (several times the size of the earth) has opened up giving rise to enormous solar flares. Lookout for the Northern Lights in more southerly regions than normal over the next 24 hours. Satellites are expected to be compromised during this time.

And naturally we have a massive impenetrable cloud cover here right as we speak. The light earlier today was kinda strange looking though.

It was nice knowing you all! Digging a hole in my backyard to store myself and some supplies right now;)

I never intended to make art.

ROFLMAO@Ellocolobo! Now it's time to wrap our heads up in aluminum foil (and anything else you might think will be affected by an electromagnetic spike).

If you don't understand it will it still hurt? Photons are light, right? Vibrating at different frequencies determine where in the spectrum, right? I don't know whether to make my hat out of tin foil, lead foil, or black paper. Somebody help, quick!

Well, I understood about four words on that link, so I'll believe like every American that what I don't know won't hurt me! :^) Actually, we have suprisingly clear weather lately, I'll have to keep an eye out for some Borealus.

Skiwilgee: We're talking highly radio-active particles here. X-rays, Gamma rays and such. Get deep, deep, deep underground. Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye!

Nah, after about 15 meters all you have to wory about are neutrinos... and we know nada about them...

pakled ( ) posted Fri, 16 September 2005 at 11:12 AM

a neutrino will go in yer noggin, and out yer @#$..and affect nothing at all..within acceptible margins..;) The high energy stuff might start a skin cancer or 2 (out of 6 billion), but to be honest, unless you listen to Howard Stern or something, it will just be an annoyance..;)

I have been looking at the sun most of the week through my telescope and a solar filter. This is a huge sunspot the spooky thing is we should not be having sunspots right now (they happen in 11 year cycles right now is low point). This sunspot is very unusual as well because it is extremely active.

It is very strange to have one so active has me a bit freaked out (yes more then normal). This spot is so huge it can be seen without a telescope (DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN DIRECTLY!!!!) with strong welders glasses or eclipse glasses. It was strong enough to burnout the CCD of the satellite that tracks the sun SOHO.

Oh yes and one last thing for all you teasers out there. It is very possible an extinction on earth was cause by a massive dose of x-rays from our sun or a near by star, an tin-foil would just make you cook faster

Although it looks small on the surface of the sun, this sunspot is actually larger then earth. This was taken on 13th.

Goof balls... Its no wonder the aliens want to get rid of all humans lol

Vile ( ) posted Sat, 17 September 2005 at 1:48 PM

Seriously though this sunspot only can cause radio, satelite and communication damage and some really neat auroras. A super mass coronal ejection could send a lot of radiation and cook a bunch of people out doors. But luckily there has never been one...yet.

Oh yeah and in case you are interested here is an artcle describing how this
years eve of a solar minimium minimum (2006)is stronger then years before solar max.
